Rhino 7 might be crashing the MAC OS

Rhino Rhino for Mac
,

Hello,

I would like to check if other users are experiencing the same issue with Rhino7 for MAC.

Since I upgraded my OS to Monterrey, my Mac screen freezes suddenly, with the impossibility to do anything (not even reach the force quit command), with sometimes just restarting by itself.

Recently, when on Rhino, it happens continuously right after opening a file, sometimes after few minutes only.

I have been calling the apple support, with the ultimate option was to redo a Clean install of the OS.

Since then, I haven’t been experiencing any crash, unless on Rhino ! so I am wondering if the issue comes from there…

Something I noticed:
When the wheel keeps turning forever once Rhino freezes, if I push Command+Tab to navigate between apps, I can see on the Touch Bar that I am on an another app (say, Mail)… while Rhino is still blocked on my screen.

Please let me know if there is anyway 1) to fix this, 2) to identify clearly the source of the problem 3)if it is definitely a Rhino app issue.

A system report just in case, with my very best… :

The generic suggestion for reports of the OS problems is to try running Rhino with the plugins that did not ship with Rhino not loaded and see if that resolves the issue. If the issue is resolved then try running Rhino successively loading the plugins until the problem reoccurs. That will identify which plugin is causing the problem.

Hi -

Have you tried running with these plug-ins disabled for a while?

Hi -
When Rhino crashes, is there a Rhino crash dialog that lets you send in a report?
Can you provide your Mac hardware information?

hi wim

I have Monterey 12.0.1 running on a 2019 Macbookpro.
2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Up now i got the problem resolved after multiple tries.
i went to the website added the licence to zoo and then tried registering my app again. That solved it for me. but all other options to put the serial number wer not working.

@gari.kun Sorry for the frustration here. This is a crash bug that snuck into 7.17 on both the Windows and MacOS versions. It happens when launching Options > Licenses > Change License > Enter License Key. It is fixed in the latest service release candidate 7.18.

You can also bypass this bug in 7.17 by using Options > Licenses > Change License > Remove License first and then entering the new license once the license wizard starts up and asks for the license again.
